We offer outreach and educational services to churches and other Christian organizations through film, workshops, seminars, and courses to improve ministry with the church body. These seminars include Christian marriage and family enrichments, training of lay assistants to support and encourage people who are hurting, and training for pastors and professional counselors to improve their counseling skills. These seminars may also be tailored to meet specific needs that arise within the Christian community.

The fee for counseling is charged per session of approximately one hour. Some congregations may offer financial help to members who cannot afford the full fee. In some situations, we may be able to access your health insurance or EAP to cover the fee. There is also a scholarship fund available for those in financial need.
